Three Brother's Vegetable Burger (玄风桥三兄弟菜夹馍) - Next up on this Chinese food tour today, Xi’an is famous for its Chinese burgers, often filled with meat, but this one is vegetarian and it’s so good. Price - 6 RMB ($0.86)
You can’t come to Xi’an without visiting the Xi'an City Wall. The wall has so much history and to this day the old part of the city is still surrounded by the wall.
Jing Gao - You’ll notice this unique sticky rice stick dessert all over Xi’an and it’s as tempting as it looks. The taste is actually quite nice as well, and very convenient to eat. Price - 3 RMB ($0.43)
Shangzhai Big Bowl Noodle (南柳巷尚寨老碗面) - Easily one of the most famous of all Chinese noodles in Xi’an is Biang Biang Noodles (油泼扯面). This place is very popular, but I was a little disappointed that his place doesn’t actually hand pull their noodles, but instead slices them. That being said, they were incredibly delicious with the splashed hot chili oil on top. Price - 12 RMB ($1.71). Don’t worry, coming soon we’ll go to a place where they still hand pull their noodles.
Wangkui's Burger (骡马市南口王魁肉夹馍) - Roujiamo (肉夹馍) is the famous Xi’an Chinese burger and this restaurant is legendary and one of the most famous. Price - 10 RMB ($1.43)
Chang'an Da Paidang (长安大排档上元灯会 葫芦鸡) - You can eat street food and noodles forever in Xi’an, but it’s also nice to sit down and eat some of the bigger main dishes of this region of Chinese food. Xi’an is famous for Gourd chicken (葫芦鸡), a whole fried chicken, and some other unique dishes. Price - 91 RMB ($12.98) total *I think they gave us a few complimentary dishes.
Another outstanding day of delicious Chinese food in Xi’an,...
Mark Wiens' Xi'an food adventure began with a Muslim breakfast stall, savoring dumplings, hulatang (hot and spicy soup), and vegetable pockets. He then sampled a vegetarian Chinese burger. Xi'an's City Wall, a historical landmark, was also visited. A unique sticky rice dessert, Jing Gao, added sweetness to the journey. The culinary exploration continued with Biang Biang noodles, though not hand-pulled at this location. A legendary Roujiamo (meat sandwich) from Wangkui's Burger followed, before concluding with a sit-down meal featuring Xi'an's famous Gourd chicken at Chang'an Da Paidang.
